..the Mossad office in London received advance notice about the attacks,
but only six minutes before the first blast...yetnews
This begs the question of how Mossad was warned of the activities of a highly
secretive mission by an "al Qaeda sleeper cell" consisting of three
or four people:
"The way these folks work, they can go the logistics planning,
to get the equipment they need and do the surveillance. Al Qaeda-trained people
do a tremendous amount of surveillance to find the right targets, the right
time of day or whatever. But then, you can put all those plans and equipment
on the shelf, and then with one phone call, in as little as 24 hours, execute
those plans." CBS

Also, Mossad knew of the attacks at 08:45, and this may explain the revised
bombing times:
The three bombs on London underground trains on Thursday exploded almost
simultaneously, police have said. Scotland Yard said the attacks took place
within 50 seconds of each other. It was previously thought they had taken place
over a longer time period. BBC

The original timeline shows the last subway bombing occurred at 09:17:
9.17AM: Five people are killed in an explosion at Edgware Road Underground
station. Police said a blast ripped through a carriage, a wall and into two
other trains. manchesteronline
The new timings gave Mossad only 6 minutes to warn of the attacks, but the original
timings gave them 32 minutes to issue a warning before the last explosion.
No warnings were issued.
Also remember it was thought that the explosions were caused by power surges
up until 10:00:
10.00AM: The National Grid, which supplies power to the Underground,
confirms there have been no problems with its system. manchesteronline
How long does it take Mossad to pick up a phone?>
